Makes sense. It's not uncommon for people who aren't paying attention to accidentally slam on the gas instead of the brake when they see they're about to crash. Almost certainly what happened here.
That's true, and I remember that being a problem in a number of accidents for older drivers, but it sounds like this guy was just trying to drive quickly.
